I know those pictures were posted here earlier this year or last year. Someone created a thread on Prince's DNA and that picture was one of them. But I thought we proved those were not really Prince's.
In a 96 - 98 Interview (I'm looking for it now) Prince was talking about family lines and the possibiity of being related to Mayte, he said because they never knew who is mothers father...

Where did that photo come from?

IDK about the adults but it certainly looks like his Mom and her Sister. I know the the interview U're talking about I haven't read it in ages tho. Wasn't the 'related 2 Mayte' thing just part of his whole theory on them knowing each other in a past life as well?

IDK where she got it but I had it from a really good P site I'll org note U the link tomorrow if I can.

Aww naw. Thank U and U're welcome! Nope I think it's all set unless there's some kind of snag with the time or something tomorrow.

Love that song. That is Mayte's engagement ring, the price was $100K

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The diamond engagement ring with which Prince proposed to his wife Mayte Garcia, accompanied by 5 handwritten heart notes, which Prince used to lead her on a romantic journey to the ring. At the end of the journey was this stunning round diamond of approximately 2.2 karats, measuring 8.3mm. Large diamond in its secure 6-prong setting perches regally over twisted shoulders showcasing eight channel set round diamonds in a gold band. Stone is cut with a high crown, with ring showing good clarity as well as good white fluorescence. Ring is sized 6.125. Each heart-shaped pink sheet measures 7.5'' x 6.5'' with notes handwritten by Prince, intentionally blurred here. Fine condition. Set of 5 handwritten notes are offered as a collector's piece only and do not come with rights for reproduction, manufacturing or distribution. A remarkable, romantic piece from one of the greatest entertainers the world has ever known. From the collection of Mayte Garcia.

The ring is gorgeous.

I can understand selling the ring. Seriously, though, why would she sell the love notes? Prince freaking wrote those notes TO YOU and FOR YOU!!!

I posted this awhile ago and this makes me SO sad. I know she had her reasons but I would NEVER have even thought 2 sell the ring and no way in hell the notes, that's personal. I can't imgine how he felt when he saw this.

Idk. The picture came up when I looked up Mattie Shaw. I still say the man looks very similar to the man in the picture with the lady who is clearly Princes grandma. A lot could have changed since 1998 or even when Prince did the interview with George Lopez. Maybe he found out who his grandfather was. The birth cert. I have is from a genealogy site. Like I said it really doesn't matter what Prince said about his grandfather or who/what he was.

Nothing changed as far as him still not knowing who his Maternal Grandfather was. I always feel super weird looking at stuff like this. I wish it wasn't avail. cuz it really isn't meant 4 us 2 look it. That's just me. I'm not dissing U in any way either just saying my opinion.

I understand. Trust me I wasn’t looking for super personal things such as this. I was just looking for a picture of his mother and this along with the family picture so happened to pop up as well

I know, it's weird what pops up with some searches. Some of the stuff I've ran across is shocking. I wish the estate would put more effort in blocking stuff like that. Esp seeing as how it's Tyka's family 2, U'd think she want it kept private. I know she has a lot on her plate but still.

3 Chains O' Gold Party!!!!!!!

Ok every1 this is what I got

Bookwomen
MoDrawers
Sister
Bank
Spooky
Layla
Mountains
Monkey

FP
Cherry
GH
Jen
Leslie
Momma
Shiloh

All the purple ppl have said they will 4 sure be attending. Others either try 2 pop in or will be popping in and out. Taking every1s times into consideration and personal convos I think the time will be either 7 or 8 P.M. my time which is EST. The only hitch with that would be GH and Cherry. I will be away 4 most of the day tomorrow so I won't be posting much but I'll try 2 pop in and post if some1 has any questions. I think every1 now has the files with the exception of Jen. Her email account will not accept parts 8 & 9, I've tried everything except cutting the clips down and send them in 4 files. I just don't have the time 2 do that right now. If some1 else could work on getting her those parts it would be appreciated.

I gotta get 2 bed now busy and sad day tomorrow. Night.

U'RE GREAT ACHARMED! Thanks for organising all that! And coutn me in for the video party, that would be great!

7 or 8 P.M Est time is ok, it will be 1 or 2 A.M France time for me, but I'm still on holidays.

Thanks again! Have a nice night/day!

There is 5 hours difference between EST time and the UK, so it would be good to know what time exactely we'll be doing this so the UK people don't miss all the "action" lol. I'm happy for it to start at 7pm EST time (which will be midnight here). I am a bit rubbish at staying up late these days although I'm sure some scenes might help more than others
And I will never thank you enough for all your time preparing everything, liaising with everyone, etc. You have been so supportive, patient, funny and just AMAZING!!! I really look forward to this evening, I'm sure we all need it, especially today.

I actually had a request earlier this week for a particular gif from this TRL interview but saw so many cute gif-worthy moments, I thought I would make them too since I was at it. Such cute Princey smiles Plus I know there's some Rave era fans in da house.

I for one could use some Princey smiles today; I think we all could. Posting a few batches now and rest later/tomorrow

These are for everyone

I remember gettin’ sick, really sick after Lake Minnetonka.
So he took me to his purple home. I’d stayed there for a couple of days. He gave me medicine, he made me hot tea…
Then he made me sandwiches of raisin bread and cheese (laughs).

And then he would play the piano for me and in my pajamas I would lay underneath the piano ‘cause the acoustic sounded different down there… So I would just lay there with red nose and snot, coughing, no make up, all sweaty and sick and he would play the piano and then all of the sudden, I remember it was like day two and I’m still little sick he gets on the piano and then he jumps off the piano and touches his feet, spreads his legs and touches his feet and he goes, 'Who does that?' He was imitating David Lee Roth and I was like, 'I don’t know.' I was just pretending, right. I go, 'Do it again, let me see’, so he did it again and I was like, 'I don’t know who does that (laughs).’ That’s my untold story.“
-Apollonia, 2013 French tv

What a sweet story, thank you for sharing it mimi. I really miss him today.

^^^how freakin' adorable is that?! (just me and my random gifs again )

Goodnight fam! Need to get to sleep so I can tackle all the errands and get home in time for our family gathering
